>haven't played in a week>don't even feel like playingMaybe I'm finally free.
how the fuck am I supposed to get chumming done? no one plays this shit map and no one plays night raids. I'm completely hard locked rn
>kill pmcs with pistolsokay, not too big of an ask.>kill pmcs with grenadesrealistically how long will this one take?
>>572564723You don't have to kill PMCs with grenades anymore.
>>572564812Grenadier says 5 pmcs unless they just never updated the task info
>>572564893Grenadier is not required for Kappa anymore, ergo it's an irrelevant meme quest you can ignore.
>>572565095Okay, I guess it can be one of those things that if I get a nade kill I get a nade kill
>>572565329You should have it pinned on top of your quest list, sometimes you may get a grenade kill during a fight without even knowing, it's worth checking to see if it updated.

So when are they disabling the event?
eft bros i'm addicted again. i was a filthy pve casual who did literally everything except Ref quest line, the Customs part of Capturing Shitposts, and Hell on Earth pt 2. i've switched to PvP and my unemployed ass could not stop playing for the last three days farming out tac30s to use and I'm now level 19 with a 36 mil stash.
which streamer was I just killed by?
>>572572492Seems to be this guy.https://x.com/MrBubblyTTV
just got top of head by a ai scav running the double barrel shotgun through my achhc while camping in a bush... thank god I shoved the moonshine in my pack
I'm kind of getting tired of scavs spawning behind me every run. It can be dead fucking silent and I'll suddenly hear the drunken bark of a slav from behind me and I have exactly 0.4s to 180 and mag dump them before they light me up. Is this some kind of anti-camping measure or a dogshit spawn system?
>>572577369Can I get into your matches I've done 4 woods raids now and literally sprinting everywhere on the map and i only find scav corpses. I need 6 more...
>>572577616It seems to happen the most when I'm looting in a building or a "high traffic" area I guess. No joke had two scavs spawn back to back when my buddy and I were fucking around and looting in the mall on interchange.
Is there any risk in buying secondhand Unheard / EoD account? I got offered a cheap one by some local guy and can come over his place to change account's email to mine. I won't come alone so no safety issue on my part. Just worry that he can take back account later somehow.
>>572580597Off the bat its bannable per TOS. Assuming you don't give a shit about being in the ban wipe it just makes no sense to go to someone's house IRL to swap account information. Just seems like a bad situation regardless of the outcome. I'm assuming you know this dude personally.
truly shocked i got this on my dirt poor pvp zero to hero run and never any time i had meta
>>572562675All the action is happening inside the mall, if you don't wanna get inside you'll have to catch someone running there at the start of a raid. If you get a close spawn to the mall you can also just run in and camp the entrance, I like sitting in the elevators next to the pharmacy at Idea.You can also queue early morning instead of night time, you might see more players from 7-10 AM.
Lol I guess that's permanent.
>>572595127guess that will permanently boost badge prices
>>572597168I actually wonder how much it will affect prices in the long run, considering only 0.8% of players have the achievements.
>>572597405Short term these niggers are fucking retarded. It takes 25 badges for the barter. The barters during the event were dogshit as well. Badges were 200k, which made every single barter way too expensive.
>>572597758Oh actually, 314 is higher than I remember. The barter is actually cheaper right now by like a mil.
>>572564723>Woods>Camp some open area>Wait for timmies>Break their legs with a cheap shotgun>Chuck an F-1 from behind a tree and run awayTook me a dozen raids or so but it was boring as hell
>stankrat after sitting in a bush for 25 minutes>bro why is everyone running shit rounds!!??I dunno dude, probably because nobody wants to give 300 rounds of SP-6 to some ugly retard who's been dry jerking his dick for the last half an hour.
>>572595127will these barters stay after I prestige? I guess no, right.
>>572602230Do you have the achievement? If yes, then yes, you will have the 314 badge barter.
>>572602749thanks anon, I was more interested in the ammo and gun barters. But I checked and their badge barters are all removed already, only the key barter left. Gotta hate these FOMO tactics.
>>572604774It was obvious that the barters were for the event and that they wouldn't all stay.
>>572604927Would you say we'll have the key barter in seasonal character?
>>572605194I don't see why not. It's an achievement unlock.
>>572606046There's a chance seasonal has separate achievements like PVE and PVP.
>>572606332man I hope they will keep and add these little shortcuts because the character will be erased in a few months anyway.
>trying to do that early game Prapor task that requires me to scout the convoy and the usec base>die 8 times in a row just trying to do it>every time it's an instant headshot, when the raid is like 5 minutes from ending and my backpack is brimming with shit I need for tasks/hideout>it's always to some completely random bush wookie in the middle of nowhere>it's always to an instant headshot, so I don't even have the slightest chance of fighting backI'm so fucking tilted right now, lmao. Been just running around Woods just cursing non-stop.
>>572617532Sounds like a typical woods experience.
>>572600301to be fair, he was actively chasing that guy and a level 50 using SPP is kinda sadI have around 3k PAB9 that I kept crafting before unlocking other stuff to use green gunpowderI've killed people level 50-60 with a gigamodded m4 using M855, like come on now
>>572617532woods is my most hated map, it's full of sniping cunts.
>can buy the FN40 grenade launcher>can't buy ammo for it at allkinda silly
>>572618675He walked like 30 feet to his left.
>>572619447your comment made it look like he killed someone while in a bush and then complained about his shit ammoin reality, the retard made noise, got chased (30 feet) and then stood absolutely still in the middle of the map looking through a hole in the wall
>>572618675>dude like come on you have to use top tier ammo once you're past a certain level to meet my expectationsreeeeeeetard
>>572620930>ignoring the 30 minutes of sitting in the bush aspect prior to finally walking like 30 feetNitpick if you'd like for the sake of contrarianism, but it's still utterly ridiculous behavior.
So I don't kill other scavs now that the event is over? Not even ones that are obviously players?
>>572621149Not him, but unironically yes. There is literally no reason not to run the best ammo you have access to.
>>572621412no one's stopping you from having less scav reps and more shitty scav condition.
>>572621412if you care about fence rep, yeah. if not, you should gun pscavs down with extreme prejudice.
>>572621149calm down, I'm sure that box of yours full with 995/SSAP will be used eventually (it won't)>>572621226well, yeah, he's a rat, but he's not wronghigh level players using absolute dogshit ammo is silly behavior when they have 40 gorillions in stash value
>>572621412don't play your scav
>>572621980I love it when some moron pscav get tagged and cursed, all bot scavs rush to him so I can hunt him down for extra scav rep.
>>572621920>>572621980I mean if a scav has a big backpack on him I feel like it'd be worth it.>>572622048Why not?
>>572622040Except that his complaint boils down to >wtf dood why didnt you bring me all your good ammo i sat in a bush for 30 minutes waiting for you to walk in front of meWhich I find to be even more ridiculous than some guy not wanting to lose 20 hours crafting time worth of pab-9.
>>572621742define best>uhm the highest sum of penetration and damage! :nerd emoji:only need 30 pen for the vast majority of face protection. i regularly clear icebreaker with 855. not to say that's comparable with pvp but it proves a point.
>>572622098i love when i shit on scavottry in this general and there's always one obvious scav main who makes some snide ass faggot comment like you just did.
>>572622529Doesn't change the fact that there is no reason not to use M855A1 over M855 if you have access to it. And no, shooting bots in PVE is not proving a point, because as you said, it's not like it's comparable.
>>572622718>erm if u scav at all ur a scav mainRetard
This is a no scav zone. No scavving past this point. You can only proceed after presenting identification at this checkpoint.
>>572622291would the complaint be any more valid if he was sprinting towards whatever closest spawn at the start and raped some poor guy without him firing a single shot?>wtf dood why didnt you bring me all your good ammo i instantly rushed your spawn and killed youit's just how the game is>lose 20 hours crafting time worth of pab-9yeah, PAB9 is definitely not worth crafting at this point because it's competing for eagle gunpowder against better ammo
>>572622903if more than a tenth of your total raids are scavs, you are a scav main.
>/eftg/ is nothing but autists arguing over the stupidest shit, again
>>572623353That's a genuinely retarded take.
>>572622718I do play a lot of arena, but my scav rep is below 1. You can call yourself a sniveling retard now LMAO.
At least I can finally do Insomnia in style...
>>572623250Yes, because there's actual risk involved. This just goes back to the argument on ratting in the first place. It's always been an incredibly fucking gay way to play the game and complaining that the guy you just ratted didn't have what you wanted is retarded.
>>572622234Just scav on reserve or lighthouse and team up with the rogues to kill pmcunts.Can't wait for the scav life thing to start hunting pmcs.
>>572624721>>572622718
>>572622234if you got high scav rep, you always start with good gears and chances for valuable items like keycards. So it's never worth it to kill fellow scavs.
>>572624721>scav lifeWus dat?>t. nooblet
>>572625808play as scav boss and command bot scavs to attack other factions, expanded scav mode with quests,...Basically the latest event was a small playtest for a small aspect of scav life DLC.
>>572626251
>>572624389>because there's actual risk involvedput yourself in the shoes of some poor penis helmet man getting spawn rushed against class 6, altyn and 50+ pen ammohis odds of survival are worse than yours against some bush nigger>incredibly fucking gay way to play the gameyeah>the guy you just ratted didn't have what you wanted is retardedI've killed a lot of rats, so there is some risk involved and imo risk doesn't determine if one can complain about something or notif you die to my tripwire, there was 0 risk for me and I can still call your kit dogshitsbih is the absolute worst designed task in this game, it encourages you to sit and rat (unless you're a psychopath running around with a bolty)there are so many ways to get absolutely fucked in this game by complete luck, getting ratted is just one more of them
>>572626657>put yourself in the shows of this scenario i just made up
>>572627060>"rushing the closest spawn? not on this general">"using the most raped kit available? not on this board">"taking a fat dump on some low level retard? nuh uh, couldn't be us">"the avatarfag nigger being retarded? not a chance"
>>572617532I'm level 40 and still haven't done this quest LOL
>>572627563>"rushing the closest spawn? not on this general"Yea, most of you posters ITT are bad at the game.
>>572628128not my fault your kd is below 1
>>572629231That's new to me :^)
>>572629449I kneel, but I do play like an absolute retardwish my friends still played this virtual prison
You can't convince me that they don't intentionally cause daily rerolls to be more likely to reroll into something for a game mode you don't have for a weekly.
I haven’t played since 2022. I only played SPT for a few months out of 2024. How’s the game now? What all have I missed? What am I in for?
boo
>>572642838AAAA fuck don’t do that
why the fuck is there a 3k hour player in my GZ noob lobbies?
>>572564723Get impact grenades. Throw them into the windows at Dorms.
>>572644989prestige?
>>572649117nope, was a level 11 with 3k+ hours so I guess he reinstalled recently
>pmc manages to crab walk up to me without me hearing and blow my brains out from <1m awayGenuinely confused on that one cause I just heard a scav yell in russian nearby
>my teammate kills me twice in a row while getting out of spawn>also quits the game Oh well I hope you hang yourself
>kill a pmc as a scav in the terragroup garage>walk around the corner into the hall and get magdumped by a pscav Did I interrupt your gay little tryst of getting to the co-op exfil?
Gonna be honest the reduced scav cooldown during the event kind of spoiled me. 25m CD for me right now kind of sucks, especially if I get on a bad streak as a PMC and need to try and recoup my losses.
GZ is fun when you aren't getting smoked by the Wraith of Lee Harvey Oswald.
>>572664492GZ is great for that kinda shit. I actually had fun doing SBiH on it.
hitreg in arena is really making me question if pvp tarkov was ever worth playing to begin with
>>572664492GZ needs an expansion and some late game tasks
in arena I am trying to unlock 30 bullet mag and it says weapon should be lvl 2, is it different than weapon mastery if so where do I see it ?
>>572671663Yea, it's different. Inspect a weapon then click the level tab

>>572679742Congrats on killing reskinned Scavs, anon.
tarkov is a bad pvp game
>>572680275It is but PVP is the secret sauce that ties is all together. It's supposed to be part of the experience, not core of it.
have they made the game run any better since like 2 years ago? my friend is having his yearly tarkov phase and is trying to get me to reinstall but i don't wanna play a tactical PVP shootah game at sub-45 FPS again
>>572666214Arena hitreg feels genuinely worse than the base game somehow. The amount of times I watch bullets hit helmets, blood splash, etc. drives me up the fucking wall. >>572680403Yes, provided you don't have dogshit hardware. Streets continues to run poorly.
>>572680403Game runs better than before. What are ur specs?
>>572680151>playing with hackers from the daxing'anlin prefectureEnjoy your sunk cost treadmill, faggot.
>>572680760>same cope every time
Went to lumbermill like a retard because I had a task to kill scavs in woods and got smoked by Shturman, that'll teach me.
>>572680760copium overdose
>>572680760>>572681268good boys!
>>572680498>Streets continues to run poorly.damb, that sucks. did GZ get any better? i remember it ran almost as bad as streets for me when it first came out.>>572680532Ryzen 5 2600X, 1060 6GB, 32GB DDR4. these specs are probably terrible but it's slightly offset by the fact that i'm still rocking a 1080p monitor in current year instead of a 1440p panel.i guess i'll reinstall tonight and play day after tomorrow, i'd play tomorrow but i have a doctor's appointment that day and i have no idea how long that'll take.
>>572681327Pathetic behavior, anon.>>572681439I haven't had any issues with GZ at all. There's still some issues, like the building with the scaffolding, the name of which I can't recall, will dumpster your frames still. Something wrong with the way it's being rendered they still haven't fixed iirc, but in general the game runs better now. The menuing is still frustratingly slow though.
>>572617532have you tried not silhouetting out the ass?
Gonna go to factory to try and get some pmc kills wish me luck
>>572634926I've had about as long break as you. Seems more or less the same as ever, except that there are more quests, you don't get to buy or sell anything worthwhile on fleamarket before level 20 or 30 and traders sell crap ammo even on level 2.I guess scavenging ammo the way to go now. RIP SKS with PS rounds, I miss you
>>572689358Well I was only able to kill one PMC and it wasn't a USEC for my task sadly but he killed another dude with a vector and a t5 plate carrier plus one of those funky skull masks.
>>572689358>>572691969Factory is where people go to throw kits away. You can pick up some decent kits if you're crafty enough.
>>572692282Yeah I got lucky I guess and spawned in the courtyard and climbed up to the locker room/showers. I think he was too busy salivating over that dude to hear me slow walk and peek the door to the stairwell.
Should I just alt f4 at this point?
>>572692671You'll probably get an empty server which is nice unless you want to kill, which is bad.
>>572692710just doing abandoned cargo quest so atleast it'll be chill
My kingdom for a fucking fuel canister from Interchange.
I'm starting to think I won't get in....
>>572694370there goes 50 minutes

>>572661638>25m CD for me right now kind of sucks,spam car extracts. Use scav's for PMC hunting only. You'll have that rep back up in a jiffy.
>>572699784Just git gud
Can you redpill me on scavving? I keep finding car batteries for security lvl 3 and eazy cookbook for libary but never even found them in any technical crates or sport bags. I have unlocked I am full of other stuffs now and cant even buy tank battery to craft car batteries due to low lvl.
all seasonal modifiersgrey ones are universal
>>572714207>black divisioni hope that means bd is going to show up on all maps. but it would also mean that we're going to get pumped full of solid gear early early into the raids. I'm for sure playing with no flea on seasonal. I'm actually doing it now the only hard part is scopes
>>572714207I just want to know how far I need to get to unlock BD clothing holy fuck can Nigita hurry the fuck up and release the season already I'm tired of daily twitter posts about it.
>>572713074try asking again without the stroke this time. Happy to help once I understand your need. >If you are looking for Car Batteries, I see them most often at Scav Camp on Shoreline by the cars, Reserve knight buildings, or Customs warehouses.>remember, now that you've bitched on /eftg/ you will accomplish your goal in the next 5 raids
I die so often to fucked foliage. I'm looking through it and I see actually nothing but I stick out like a sore thumb... I gotta stop doin that
>page 10
Main game is gonna be so comfy once the seasonal stuff drops, full of nothing but gamer dads.
what do u guys think of muh stash so far?
>>572726864Stash? more like trash!
Oops lol. There goes three entire kits.
>old email got hacked>forgot to update it on tarkov>just asked for authentication code to login>support wants screenshots of purchase from a bank account I closed a few years agoI'm never getting this shit back am I?
I wonder how much skipping Terminal for prestige is going to cost, considering you need up to 500 million to even unlock Terminal.
Anyone know why I have the quest interaction marker here in the entrance to Labyrinth?
>>572732419Probably some random item that will trigger a quest, I stumble on one every now and then in runs.

>>572714207>Broken Secure ContainerI wonder how that works. You can just use it as inventory space, but when you die, your looter can access it?
>>572737358IIRC it has far tighter restrictions on what you can put in it.
>>572737358I'm pretty sure it's that only basic necessities can be placed in there. Stuff like keys, money, stims, etc.

>>572741132I'm so fucking sure that this shit ass game has some sort of a hidden matchmaking system. It checks all your dailies and then proceeds to match you into games with complete retards until your tasks are done. Yesterday I had a winratio of like 3/4 and today it's magically fucking ZERO after 10 games. I JUST NEED ONE FUCKING WIN.

>>572742386I am aware.
>>572740116>numerous people asking if this is the update with seasonal charactersYou'd think for a game like Tarkov the general playerbase would be above a room temperature IQ, but I'm continually impressed with how Tarkov attracts some of the dumbest niggers possible.

Good shit. Glad I spent my few precious hours playing this rotten piece of a shit "game".
Fuck I hate it when you see a PMC in the distance and you can just tell from how he moves that he's kind of a clueless retard, and then every time you line up a shot and you're about to pull the trigger he ALWAYS either turns his head, strafes to the side, fucking stops for no reason, or does some other bullshit that causes you to either miss or need to adjust your aim, only for him to eventually just run off. It has happened to me so many times already.
>died because I got stuck trying to peek through a doorwayfucking lmao
>>572714207Judging by the previous screenshot, the Average perk is very strong. Imagine starting a season out with 25 Covert Movement, STR, END, and Health?
>>572755418Doesn't it start at 25 and stay there, though? I thought the gimmick was that you couldn't level them further. I guess it's a good perk if you don't plan on playing the entire season.

>>572766816Because that would be retarded
No doubt
Wish I could move around with as much surety as other players, I get spooked every time I hear or think I hear something.
>>572768009most of the stims are retarded, but they're retarded for convenience sake. you pay a premium for a quick heal or buff. why do you think one that acts as a surv kit is retarded?

How long should I actually be staying in a raid as a PMC? Sometimes it feels like I'm "overstaying" my welcome, if that makes sense.

>>572778457>>572778001Not that answer I wanted but I guess it's the one I need.
>>572777778one off. depends on the map for me. some tend to be more infested with pscavs than others, like streets and reserve, and i prefer not to deal with the hoarde.
>>572778891It's just the truth. You stay in the raid for as long as you need to or as long as you feel like.
>>572773568So, a painkiller effect, heal, increase to something like strength or perception is somehow retarded? I think you might be retarded. A blacked limb needs emergency surgery, you can't pull a bullet out of your leg with a stim. If you start trying to discuss whether emergency surgery itself is retarded or not to deflect I'm going to call you a nigger.
>>572781849>drug that lets you carry the weight of 5 men with ease>not retarded>drug that turns you into a reptile, making you nearly invisible to thermals>not retarded>drug that does literally everything including killing you that isn't even guaranteed to work>not retarded>drug that puts your limbs from 0 to 1 hp>retardedif you're going to act like a smartass at least put some thought into your argument
>>572782993You're a fucking retard.
>>572781849>A blacked limb needs emergency surgery, you can't pull a bullet out of your leg with a stimYou're trying to apply logic to an illogical system. You can apply a tourniquet around your neck for a brain bleed after eating a round of igolnik to the head and then just bandage it up. By those standards, a stim that serves the purpose of surgery kit isn't retarded.
>>572784849No, I'm not. Ironically, you're forcing illogical thoughts onto an illogical system based on logical gameplay elements. The logical system of blacked limbs is that the wound is significant enough that it requires physically removing a round. Yes, a stim that somehow forcibly removes a physical bullet out of a limb is retarded. A stim that temporarily dopes you up and gives you a huge amount of strength (weight of 5 men is a genuine nigger tier exaggeration and that anon should be embarrassed) at the cost of slowly losing health is not retarded.
>>572785753>The logical system of blacked limbs is that the wound is significant enough that it requires physically removing a roundOr just stitching your mangled flesh back together to the point where it can continue being healed with less intensive meds. It's not specifically meant for removing bullets, despite the animation using forceps, because you can lose limbs without being shot. Once again, you're trying to apply logic to an inherently illogical system. You probably have autism.
are side plates worth it
hello nikita ,KAT medical in tarkov when ?
>>572777778you haven't had a raid unless you extract at the last minute
>>572778891if it makes you feel better, I think 50% movement speed makes for a brisk walk that lets you notice things easier and get noticed less. I almost always extract in the last 10 minutes and I have a great time. It sucks if you die since an hour IS an hour, but that's Tarky baby.
>>572777778If you don't leave the raid when the timer is red, you are playing the game wrong.If you have even a single run through you might as well reset your profile.
>>572777778Today I spawned near dorms, rushed there, hit marked room, found one of the items I need for kappa, and stayed in the room eating food from scavs until 5 minutes left, then ran to my extract.Then I have some raids where I run around the whole map doing task objectives and leave when the timer goes red.Sometimes I rush a POI, get full of loot, and leave after being in the raid for like 5 minutes.It's genuinely a vibe you feel and play based off that. If you wanna sit prone cosplaying Chris Kyle, drenched in your own piss and try to leave with 30 seconds left, do that. If you wanna rush a POI and loot or fight and leave immediately after, do that.All based on your vibes and objectives for that raid. Play how you want.
Last chance to stock up on Tarcoins, bro. Or make some money.
i fucking love ambushing people
>scav run interchange>see two player scavs walk below me unawares>emote and wave>both look, one shoots>KS-1 of all things blocks the shot>run to opposite extract and leave with mega haulare player scavs still mostly shoot-on-sight?
>>572798239solo pscavs are chillpscavs in a group have a bloodlust unlike any mortal thing I've witnessed
>>5727924531000% yes
How do I stop spawning in the same spot over and over again?I've spawned at road to customs on shoreline 5 raids in a row and have to reset everytime because everything I need is on the opposite side of the map.It happens on the other maps too. I spawn in the exact same shitty spots multiple raids in a row
you guys got the bag, right?
>>572798870The game is rigged, unfortunately. There is nothing you can do.

HUGE SUMMER UPDATE BROS
>>572742919gamers are dumb by nature. It's a hedonistic hobby. You are probably one, too.
>>5728124481.1 is supposed to be the big update, anon.
>>572813254then why was I excited?..Checkmate
>>572813920I kneel...
>>572814218So it appears my idiotic expectations wins again. I bid thee good game sir
>>572803730>bought Gen 4 set in the real game when it released>open Arena>can't select the clothes>says I have to buy them on the websiteNikita you fat whore

So we had a knife event and a revolver event in Arena.Bolt-action-only event when ?
>patch extendedAAAAAAIIIIEEEEEEAt least Arena is up...
I cant log in until weekend, is there any lega as reward for the new event?
>queue for the new event>half the lobby is camping and holding angles to get killsnugamers are allergic to fun
>fixed the audio>No there's no audioGenius
>finished the event>real game still downGrim.
I'm in.
Never ever
Says it's patched but the unavailable banner is still going, I'll probably give it some time. The patch notes are basically a nothingburger? Just QoL and bug fixes
>>572843083I'm in a raid right now but it took me like 10 minutes to actually find a game.
>>572839565I don't know why it's not in yet. Nikita showed off that they had one in their studio so they could model it.
>>572798870there are some old wive's tales that say it's based on the performance of your pc. Some would even say that you can manipulate this by making your computer run slower.This is all to say run another game or something while you're loading in and maybe it'll change your spawn
>matching for lighthouse is taking foreverI don't want to be here either guys...
>>572849071have you tried going at night, usually I get 6 minutes instead of 10 that way. I suppose it's all the brokies farming raiders for mid-tier kits.
randomly got my account reverted down to lvl 38 with all stats wiped and all my money gonetraders down to lvl 1, buckbreaker from the map still unlockedseems like i got everything set back to when i last opened arena like half a year agoi'm guessing it's because of the updateglad i don't give a fuck but lol
>>572851184huh, it also broke in a weird way and i have labs & lighthouse from the map unlocked now even though i never bothered to get them open since releasei guess it's nice i get to keep buckbreaker but i don't really have the money to run it ww
>>572850854It's alright it's not to bad for me right now. I just got out with the FiR M4 I need, just had to pop a rogue. I even got a free pmc that walked right into my sniper nest lol. Sprayed the side of his head from 5m away with my APB and he had no idea where I was.
>>572851184submit a ticket
>>572851595I need to finish punisher part 4 badly. Which sniping spot would you suggest?
>>572853781There's not really any one spot for lighthouse. It's all a matter of learning the spawns and fucking off if you don't see anyone in the first 10 minutes.
>>572853781Yeah >>572853981 is right that's certainly a tried-and-true strategy. Personally I completed Pun4 back during the arena smuggler event where everyone was fighting over the smuggler ai that spawned in the road. It was pretty easy to countersnipe people back then. These days I would still suggest countersniping, but you basically have to get people who are tapping rogues on their way into the WTP. I personally like the rocks west of the WTP, just across from the grenade launcher rogue/landmines. You can hit people at the boathouses but also people who run around inside the plant. People will also be running underneath you on the way to extract. People just don't expect someone to be posted up there that often.
>>572853981>>572854410thanks guys, I wish I did it a few months ago when 1.0 begun.
>kill a guy who had an MCX>use most of the ammo through the rest of the raid>don't have access myself to .300BLKWell I guess I can just sell it or something, kind of a dud gun for me right now lol
>>572855336It wouldn't have mattered. Lighthouse is perpetually full of sweats as low skill players will be reluctant to pay 5 million rubles to play the worst map in the game.

Now for the absolute slog that is insomnia/chumming on interchange...2 gunshots heard all raid which may have been a PMC
>>572856586EEEY CABRON THIS BE LIKE SOME FUCKED UP SHIT EY MAN
>>572857781Buenos dias Therapist, una Salewa, por favor.
>>572857763Insomnia is the only major task I have left for kappa. It really should be removed from the required task list.
>BEAR Zaslon lower is now a paid shop itemWTFFFFFFFFFFFF THIS SHIT WAS MY FAVORITE BUT NOW YOU GOTTA PAY? At least I can still buy the upper but still...
>>572858424Oh wait nvm, it's still available I just misinterpreted the icons. Some clothes have both the gold shop icon but also the shopping cart, meaning you can do either.
>>572857763>>572858234Yeah Insomnia takes forever, I'm slowly pushing through it too. It's really hard to find people, I just finally killed a duo after not seeing anyone for like 5 raids. The absolute worst part is having to wait like half an hour before being able to progress again because it's like 5:30 AM. They shoud lower the amount of kills for sure, 25 is way too many. The only good thing is at least now you can LARP as Black Division on night raids.They should add something to incentivize more people to do night raids, fucking add an XP multiplier during night time or something.>>572858424Based fellow Zaslon enjoyer, underrated pants.
They should update Ground Zero and turn Nakatani and Elemental Global into real areas with underground access.
Would Arena help me with da pee vee pee?
>>572861106The problem is that I'm doing chumming at the same time, so I'm stuck on interchange for a few more kills. This map is just way too non-linear, it's very hard to catch people other than camping extracts. After chumming is done I'll probably go to customs...
>>572871248it will help you with W keying, flicking, and spray.
>>572869854I've been saying that since 0.15. GZ would be a way better map if the nakatani/insight part of the map had more to it. Even when the labyrinth was introduced I said that the entrance should've been on GZ. There is quite literally an entire fucking building called Labyrinth on the map. GZ is a nice size for a "small" map but there's just not enough reason to play it outside of SBiH and TD2.
What's with this person I went up against who was being super spasmodic about entering a doorway? Like he just kept doing little footsies at the door for a like 30 seconds.
>>572876484Trying to bait you into shooting at him so that you would expend ammo, potentially forcing a reload. That or to bait you into throwing a nade so he could push you while you had a nade in your hands. He was also fishing for info to try and ascertain exactly where you were.
>>572876806I see, thanks for explaining
I would genuinely cum in my pants if BSG added the G3 variants as well.
>>572871248Not as much as it used to. Being good at arena is different than being good at the base game now. The armor and ammo values are all kinds of fucked and the lack of inertia utterly rapes the movement. The somehow godawful netcode doesn't help.
>>572881692bro fucking swooced outta there
>>572881892He died on the second peek, by the way. The game just didn't kill him until he was back around the corner.
Aqua escaped before I did.
Camping the interchage flare base at night doesn't seem to work...no one is showing up >>
>>572883278Aqua gets paid to play the game and has other streamers to carry him, don't feel bad.
>>572878056they added the various g36s so i am hoping they do the needfulim gonna run the payday the heist g3 brenner or whatever's the closest to it
>>572882060Well at least you got him
after a full day of labs, probably more than 40 raids, i finally found the fucking MCCgenuinely felt like i was having a heart attack when i picked it up and ran into a bathroom to hide for 20 minutesi found the GPSA after like 12 raids yesterday, the MCC was impossible though, I highly doubt that spawns outside of keycard rooms at all (and even the GPSA i only saw in violet and weapons testing)god im so glad ill never have to play that map ever again
Should I roll up a seasonal PMC as a noob who started like a week ago?
>>572888901it'll probably be better initially at least, almost everyone you run into right now has endgame gear, but it could also go the other way where seasonal is mostly nolifers and all the normal people remain on perma
>>572889063I mean I can just swap as I like right? Or will I need to buy some kind of seasonal character slot?
>>572889095as far as i know they are both completely separate so you can have both
>>572889184>>572889095forgot to mention it will be free, charging for seasonal would kill it
>>572889297>>572889184Cool, I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
Streets is actually such an insane map, went in there for the first time and even trying to cross reference the map on my 2nd monitor I still got lost. Then I walked into mines and died cause I was on the wrong street.
>>572895425thats like losing your map virginity, now you're a man
>>572888407I've found it in the other control room next to yellow as well as on the round table. You can imagine that they get swept up immediately by radarfags and regular labs demons though.
>>572895732lol yeah, I'm sure it'll go better the next time
>>572896003weirdly enough the MCC i got was left in yellow by someone who opened it, no corpses around either, granted it was early in the raid
>>572883278>multiple Kappas>prestiged before it became a meme>escaped with Savior ending>biggest shitter on the planetLiterally zero excuses for anyone not being able to do any of those things if he somehow managed.
I wish US rounds weren't a meme.
>>572901834>zero excusethe excuse is that there is no reason to do those things
>>572901834See >>572883561
>>572902678Just like there's no reason to do anything else in the game
>>572901834His dedication is admirable. I am on attempt #2 for Terminal today. >I'm busting this joint...see ya later, nerds.
>tfw watching old General Sam videos and pretending it's 2019 stillWhere did the time go, bros...
>>572907824Truly a simpler time... Sucks be got burned out on Tarkov, we get like one video a year, if we're lucky. Hope he'll hop back on for seasonal or something.
>>572907824>>572908261If he doesn't come for the seasonal meme it's probably safe to say it's over.
does this count RPDN and PKP too or only the M60E6 that's explicitly called a light machine gun ingame
wait why can you put another grip back herehow is this supposed to work
>>572911669Anything in the LMG category. You can even use the RPK on Assault if you feel like. >>572911801It's for use while prone. Kinda like this I think, but you have a grip to, you know, grip.
>>572911801you need your arm to support your upper body while proned on a flat surface and you can't really do that while holding the handguard like you would traditionally. most LMG stocks are designed for some sort of grippage like that. it's just for extra ergo in game tho.
New USUCC voice in game files by Kaptain Krunchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvSc--22pGQ
okay these arena meme gamemodes are pretty good but 1. how the fuck did it take nikita this long to realize that scav fights with terrible dog ass broken gear are the most fun part of shartov that would benefit from being easily accessible instead of more metaslop2. why the fuck do we not have a permanent bumfights mode where you can actually use revolvers and break actions and all the other garbage that's completely useless in normal arena yet
>>572912816Redpill me on this Kaptain Krunch.
Whoever came up with the ground zero harddrive quest is a fucking sadist
>>572913063random brownoid who's got a following in the milsim game crowd, I think he might've been in one of the older games like Insurgency 2014 as a voice, I'm not 100% but I seem to remember that
so has anyone managed to figure out the logic of this yet>level 1 workbench + hand drill + locked valuables + = 1 minute to unlock>level 1 workbench + hand drill + MORE TOOLS = 5 minutes to unlock???? perhaps the intent is to realistically represent getting distracted by other tools you already had out and trying to pry it open before remembering you can just drill it out ????
>>572913656No, one is just an outdated old craft they forgot to remove. Finished 1.0 game btw.
>just want to kill scavs in woods for this task>keep getting snipedThis is rough
why does the ultra extreme gigawhale paypiggy edition let you wear cross-faction clothing in normal eft where faction has some gameplay impact but not in arena where faction has zero impact and concealment is almost impossible
okay seriously how the fuck do you get a grenade kill in arenais the shitpiss V40 in BG really the only option
>>572915168Get lucky, basically. Or play a fuckton of BG, which is a dogshit mode filled with scumfucks.
>>572915576are they even available anywhere outside of BG
>>572915731BG is probably the easiest anyway because they are guaranteed spawns and enemy pathing is somewhat predictable. I had decent luck getting grenade kills by chucking them in those two spots depending on the side as soon as I could. Even managed to score some double kills.
>>572914780Because Arena is an outdated dead shit game no one cares about. Faction crossdressing isn't even that big of a deal in the real game, it's not like you're not gonna shoot someone because they're in a particular faction, it's just annoying when you see a guy wearing USUC clothing and you don't get progress for Friend from the West or something because he was actually a BEAR.Honestly I'm just most pissed about clothing mixing being exclusive to unheardniggers, should unironically be a paid expansion on the website.
arena is one of the few games that would really fucking benefit from ranked/sbmm/something so it's not a complete blowout one way or the other every single matchwhy the fuck does it not have it
>>572911801What a stupid question.
>>572915731They're in BG on the attacker side every time, and they spawn on some of the TF maps in various locations. If you're doing that piece of shit quest line then just play BG like the other anon said. Learn the pre-nades like you're playing a really shitty CS because you are
how the fuck do cover penetration mechanics work in this slop to the extent they work at allI think i've managed to successfully wallbang someone through plywood like maybe twice in the whole time I've played??
>>572917143It works exactly like you'd expect. Light cover like plywood, thin metal, etc. can all be shot through. You can even shoot through trees. In arena I kill people through shit all the time, but it still happens in the base game every once in a while.
>>572917441I mean yeah but does it take into account bullet caliber/velocity/pen/actual thickness of the barrier/etc at all or is it just csgo style bullshit where all objects with X material applied can be penetrated and the bullet gets a flat -Y% damage/velocity/whatever afterwardsI assume more the latter since afaik bullet velocity doesn't even affect damage/pen at all but ????nikita give me an arma 3 style shot visualizer fucking please
perhaps the most vile shit I have built in arenaI love her
>>572918619Honestly looks good except that buffer tube
>fourth time getting the infinite loading screen post-raid>got a bunch of shit on scav that I needed for my hideoutT-thanks

where the FUCK are my horribly tinted multicam pants in arena nikita
>>572919802It tells me I have to buy them again in Arena LMAO NO THANKS BRO
>>572919871but you can't even buy them in ar*na???
>>572919907They show up on Ragman for me as available for purchase on the website, I don't have them on my character even though I bought them in the real game when they came out.Unless you're referring to the other pair of multicam pants from 1.0 launch, I don't have them either rofl
>>572919993yea the gen4 shit you can pig for, but the legionnaire mc pants aren't in arena if you have them even though the shirt that came with it isNIKITA
>>572920173I don't have the shirt either, I have the normal legionnaire rofl
>>572920173>>572920223Also forgot to ask, are you on a different faction in Arena by chance? I thought my issues were tied to being BEAR in EFT and USEC in Arena. I'm even missing stuff like the prestige 4 hawaiian shirt.
when is niggerita gonna let me paypig for season 0 boypussy cosmeticsjust give me the fucking multicam balaclava bullshit man>>572920331I'm usec in both, there's just some random bullshit that isn't available between them for no discernable reason because ???
>>572920445>when is niggerita gonna let me paypig for season 0 boypussy cosmeticsYou can actually get them from the spooky slot machine in your hideout. If you feed your cultists 5 Ref figurines you'll get a random battlepass cosmetic.
>>572920546does that unlock them in ar*na though or is just like buying one from reft. too braindead to actually play normal eft these days
>>572920662It's only in EFT.

YEEEEEES I LOVE MORE ISRAELI SLOP PARTS!!!! I NEED MY GUN TO LOOK LIKE IT CAME FROM THE BARGAIN BIN IN SOME BOOMER RUN LGS!!!!
>>572911669update: does the MXLR count for bolt-action tasks since it's in the same menu category as them???
>>572921705Oh my fucking god yes retard it's referring to the weapon class
>>572921779I mean yeah but also a lever action is clearly NOT a bolt-action so ??? get your shit together nikita ???
>>572921501What's Israeli in this I need to know what to avoid.
>people keep stealing the suppressors off my insured AKS-74UBs
>die to some nigger ratting and not moving the entire time I was fighting the goons>prestige 4 5k hours marlin tranny gamma abuser with survivor endingYeah no wonder you play like an absolute fag.
>>572921848stfu I prefer it over any boltie for these shitty missions
>>572923458yes that is true, but after they added the MXLR the task descriptions should have been updated to say bolt action OR lever action!and while we're at it nikita should actually localize the game properly so that there's not random russian text all over the place and visible as the UI default until the game loads in the english localization that would be pretty cool too
Yeah z
>>572921705Yea, but why the fuck would you use it? The Marlin is utter fucking dogshit in Arena because there's no ammo that lets you one tap to the torso like the normal bolt actions.
>>572925287
>>572925361I'd still run the normal bolties purely because there's a near 0 chance that rounds are gunna bounce.

>>572926938I'm at 19% and missing the rare USEC rash guard. It's so blatantly rigged, I got two epics and a legendary with way worse odds before getting a rare.
so is it intentional that the swampfox still has the old style red dot that's vastly better than any other current sight since it's an arena boypussy exclusive item or did nikita just forget to update it with the others

Dude where the fuck are all the other PMC players on GZ? Three runs now and I've heard one, maybe two exchanges of gunfire besides me mopping up scavs while rotating.
I'm finally... free...
How long do you think a season would be?Should standard peasants (maybe with arena to help the grind) even try it, considering they are at least 1 month behind other tiers?
>>572933645How did you finish it? I bet farming Icebreaker helps. this quest bored me to death. Always some cheater and rat 1shot me from a blindspot and have to wait at least 30 mins to try again.
>>572935270from what we know season nothing is transferable to season including arena shit so it'll be the closest thing you have to OG wipes pre-arena. Of course with the inclusion of the seasonal modifiers. I think everyone should give it a try but I imagine that the modifiers will be enough to push a lot of players out of it. I've already heard of people pushing off of it due to the 1st season have no insurance.
>>572935471Stacked the first 5 kills with Chumming, which took forever, after that pretty much playing Customs and hanging around dorms or fortress looking for cultists.
>>572935474I suppose the theta case will still be earnable, since it belongs to a quest chain?Do you think standard fags like me can offset Unheard advantages with game knowledge. Like knowing what to hoard first, which task to do first, twitch drops, etc..? The thoughts of everybody starting over again and wearing pacas is so enticing.
>>572936257I don't think theta will be achievable honestly. the biggest advantage between standard and eod/unheard is the xp bonus now. Stash space is upgradable so its not the end of the world you should have to be more mindful of what you're holding in your stash in the early game. but like all things in the game if you get lucky spawns when hunting for hideout upgrades you'll be fine
finally, a beautiful clean stash layout !DO NOT LOOK INSIDE MY ITEM CASES DO NOT LOOK

You'd think this mode would be fun but it's genuine dogshit. I was sick of it before the first game was even over. It's nothing but retards sitting in corners. Nobody fucking moves.
>>572959816Lmaoing @ whining shitter.
>>572960123Consider suicide. It's just not fun. There's no incentive to do anything but find an angle and hold it.

>>572960760>l-look at this censored screenshot I t-took>I-I'm totally not butt blasted>LOOK AT THIS SCREENSHOT THAT SERVES NO PURPOSE!!!Lmao. You took someone else's mvp, censored it and used it as a means to prove that you are not mad, although you ended up doing the opposite.
>>572962005>betraying your own ignorancePathetic.
>>572962230>he still keeps trying to prove that he is not madlmao lol
>>572962656For the sake of outing you as a belligerent nigger, here's a game I came second in the other week to make it even more obvious how different the player's highlight is to other players, especially for first place. You are an ignorant nigger, now get away from me.
>>572963394>he still tries to prove himselfYou truly are pathetic, anon.
>>572959816It's fun, I cant relate to you. Maybe switch to another server.
>>572963940I can see how it could be fun, but my experience was the same the three games I played. A couple retards who don't know any better getting farmed, and everyone else just holding an angle. It's probably the lack of armor making people scared. Not sure exactly the best way to improve the mode, BSG tends not to think them out very much themselves in the first place. The cowboy event was the same way. The double barrel with AP-20 was the best gun in that mode which was silly as fuck. >>572963919Nigger.

I'm for sure going to take the Average perk this season. I don't have kappa yet on my main account so I know I'm going to want to still split my time between the two, and I already don't get tons of raids done each week anyway. There's some skills too that take for fucking ever to level, so starting at lvl25 in those will be crazy.I have a suspicion though that TONS of people will also take average, and it may get nerfed shortly after to be like lvl20 instead of 25. Or since it's all temporary anyway they'll just let it ride.
ATTENTION ATTENTION: for anyone else suffering from the issue (which BSG introduced over a year ago and STILL hasn't fixed) occurring only in arena and only when in a match* where the game will randomly stall out all but one thread and pin a single core as your FPS graph Does This until it suddenly fixes itself after a few minutes (previously respawning would reliably snap it back to normal, but that is no longer the case as of the current game version) before doing it all over again 20-30 seconds later, I have some RESEARCH to present:1. I discovered a couple weeks ago that opening the settings menu and clicking the save button without changing anything will immediately (you can just back out without waiting for the menu to close automatically) set it back to normal once it's started Doing It, which is uh still not ideal having to open the menu every 30 seconds in a fucking match but a significant improvement over waiting it out while the game becomes completely uncontrollable2. today I figured out what actually triggers it lmao, it's the FUCKING ingame vsync setting jesus CHRIST NIKITA HOW DID YOU FUCK THIS UP. forcing vsync externally via nvia/amd/whatever bullshit works fine and does NOT trigger the issue, it's only the broken ass ingame setting that fucks everything up. this does unfortunately cap the menu to 60fps which looks like ASS on a 75hz display (given it's been OVER A FUCKING YEAR and they still haven't fixed this shit I'm guessing it only happens at 75hz/other uncommon refresh rates idfk) and afaict there's no way to disable the menu cap besides enabling ingame vsync and fucking everything, but this dogshit is at least SLIGHTLY less unplayable nowFIX YOUR SHIT NIKITAAAA*it does not occur in normal eft or in the menu/firing range/etc, but it can trigger as soon as you connect to a match and start loading in which usually results in getting DC'd and having to reconnect just as the match starts
I'm gonna just run shitkits on Woods until I get the rest of these PMC kills then prolly never come back here until the game forces me to.
>>572987636*scav kills
oops
>>572980415oh, is that what causes this issue?i knew of the vsync fix but i just assumed it was a bugged interaction with freesync which i always keep enabled
does anyone have that one pic making fun of some blogger's "walking tank" loadout
i just hit 1000 raids and i unironically only have 113 PMC kills.. (though only around 650 PMC raids)between tasks and FiR hideout stuff I've spent so much of the game avoiding PVP as much as possible, now that i'm in a position to go for PVP (maxed hideout and lvl 42) i am so burnt out, feels bad man, i dont get why the game disincentives PVP so much, I understand tasks where you have to grab something and survive because that makes sense, but tasks that are basically "go here, look at x" still having "survive and extract" is insane to me
>>573001051when is someone gonna make a full clone of tarkov but fill it with anime girls?
female pmc when ?
I really just need to sell off all my shit that I'm hoarding for shit that I'm not gonna be doing anytime soon because I've basically only got like a 8x8 grid to work with.
>>573010353Never ever. Not because of any "wimminz bad" thing, but because BSG would need to remodel everything and rig all the animations again and they're way too lazy for that.
>>573010462just open preorders for $300 female pmc edition and hire some poles to do it, easy
>>573010462That's why we gotta wait for another chinese tarkov clone but this time its all girls.
waow
>>573010793very nice...
>decided to actually look at the 5.45x39 PRS ammo>only has 13 penThat'd explain it.
>>573012137Yea T or FMJ is the absolute very bottom tier acceptable 5.45 ammo since you can pen death shadows with them
>>573012241what's the best ammo you can buy from traders in reasonable quantities without tasks?7.62x51 m80? 80 dmg and 43 pen for a non-sniper seems to be the best i've seen so far, though that is still only 90 rounds
>>573012506I hate it break it to you, but M80 requires a task on Lighthouse.
>>573012241Yeah I don't have Prapor to L2 yet, soon hopefully.
>>573012560oh i somehow missed that when i was looking ammo types up earlier, the task to unlock it is really easy at least, funny that 7.62x54mm R PS gzh is locked behind punisher part 6 when it seems to be pretty similar
>>573012731Just aim for legs in the meantime. The sweatiest gigachad is still susceptible to being legged.
>>573012897You can get x39 PP from Brapor 4, but that takes a while.
>>573012979is leg meta remotely feasible in an actual fight? i seem to get deleted whenever i try it
>>573013553It's a very situational meta and requires high RPM weapons or for you to really have the advantage of surprise in a fight. I did most of TD2 with rip and quakemaker, it's hard to win any straight up fights against decently geared PMCs.
>>57301355399% of the time it will win if you run high flesh damage ammo and can actually hit the legs.
surely this time i will get something haha
https://youtu.be/1CiLov03IX4Glowy egg
is tark dead game?
any updates on the coin shop? I'm itchin man I need to spend my 5500 coins
>>573013553I would run an smg with high velocity, bleeding, low pen bullet if I ever focus on the legs.
What exactly does Perception do? It implies it improves "aiming concentration" but it says it just makes loot more noticeable?
>>573040929It makes the dot that show up in the middle of your screen when you are close to loot show up from a greater distance.
>>573040972That's silly
who did YOU complete chemical pt. 4 for
>>573045081me, myself, and i
I AM TIRED OF CAMPING INTERCHANGE AT NIGHTFUCK IT TODAY WE ARE DOING THE GUIDE
>>573041009There's a sweet spot where it's leveled enough that it helps find things since you can be imprecise in your sweeps. But then you level it too much and the dot will appear nowhere close to where the loot actually is lmao
>lvl45>finally going to labs for the first time in 1.0
>>573045081injector case but it was back when no meds in secure container carried over from the HARDCORE wipe, so it was more valued
>BSG is now doing crossovers with random bug gachashit devshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4KOzD8y5FUYou know, I had faith in them for some godforsaken reason to actually manage to buck retarded modern gaming trends, but the past two years of development has shown me that was way too naive of myself. I don't want to see literal goyslop games pop up in Tarkov just because fucking M$ or Snoy pass Niggita a fat check for a new Lambo
>>573063161Same but I'm level 52.

any advice for doing this mission?i've spent the last 2 entire raids just camping out at old gas and not a fucking peep from scavs.this shit is rigged man
>>573076943Not much you can do, you just have to get lucky. I've heard that you can look inside old gas from the train tracks, run away towards ZB-12 and it may trigger scavs to spawn, but I'm not sure how reliable that is.I wouldn't camp it, just check if they're there and leave. New gas should be easier because Reshala may be there, old gas fucking sucks.
When are they implementing shared task progression again?
>>573077992Hopefully not before they realize PVP task progression shouldn't be shared.
>loot model 1 from a guy>take off all the unique attachments and list them separately>everything sells for 850k total
So is the core game mode going to be supported at all going forward, will seasonal stuff be backported into it and become baseline like they do with games like PoE?
I CAn"T FUCKING FINISH PSYCHO SNIPER SOMEONE CHEESE IT WITH ME ILL DO IT 4 U 2
>>573079425No idea why people bother buying them. The model 1 is so marginally better than a meta m4 that it's hardly worth the price.
>>573076943I just threw a frag next to the van and waited in a bush for five minutes, generally if a scav spawned in the warehouses nearby he'll come investigate after a bit so you get one or two that way.Sometimes a PMC showed up but I was lying in a bush so I usually won, and it was fairly rare, that part of the map has such shit loot and the flare extract is so easy to get a ton of people don't even bother to rotate to kick your ass if they hear you.
>>573084336They'll probably have it as branching paths in the main quests. Like In the Ticket when you need 40 BTC and a black keycard, that's clearly a huge time sink and they'll one day have something like "either give me 20 BTC or go grab the quest item yourself on Icebreaker", with the money gate still being an option in case you're too shit to finish the harder quest.Like that quest where prapor asks for 60 rounders and you quickly realise their spawn rate is so shit it means either farming factory until Taguila spawns with an AK or crafting them yourself over a day or three.
>>573089196>over a day or threeThe craft is like an hour and a half lol
>>573086114I did it by ratting the new warehouse on customs that overlooks fortress/warehouse 4. Just take up unorthodox sniping positions and be patient...and have a little bit of luck
>>5730929421/5 on Woods, saw an aircrate drop and heard some shooting followed it and killed one of a duo (after walking onto a landmine) that was stomping around USEC camp then ran away like a total BITCH!

Why can't I smoke all the fucking ciggies I find?
>>573099358It honestly would not have been that hard to put into the game given all the OTHER FUCKING SHIT
>>573099414I guess because they'd have to give it a stat benefit like appetite suppression/calming your nerves and it'd be too accessible compared to other items? I dunno, I feel like it could be implemented well.
>>573099607You should be able to smoke one and it'll steady your sniping jitters.
>>573099758Would be nice, yeah.
Literally what is the fucking point of having niche ammo subtypes like subsonic when the way gunfire suppression is implemented makes it irrelevant within the 100m distance?
>>573097637>you have to le... progress the game?>AAIIIIIEEEE NIGGERMAN SAVE ME

Thank you 3k hour chads for not stealing the suppressors off my 74UBs.
I'm so used to alt tabbing out that I often miss the first 2-3 minutes of a raid becasue I'm still used to it taking 8 minutes to get in. I'm mindbroken.
>>573105997unironically based "retard" poster
Kek doing The Guide has lead to so many fucking retarded moments. Every single map I've been spawning in super unpopular areas so I'll just chill in a random corner safely for like 10-15 minutes. Then my luck would have it that some guy runs right to me and I blast his head off for free. These people must be so incredibly confused to find someone geared to the teeth just taking a shit in a random bathroom that has no loot.
Trying to get to the east side of customs for this one prapor quest is fucking awful if you don't spawn on that side or near the trains cars.

if we are going to have the mechanic where lasers increase point fire accuracy (which is kinda goofy, imo it would make more sense to tighten up the base spray a bit and have lasers purely for player aiming but whatever) I do think the buff should probably only apply if the laser is currently visible so you only get it from IR lasers when you actually have NV onthe current meta where everyone takes an IR laser to get the accuracy bonus without giving away position is very silly in my humble opinion
Where the fuck can a PMC get 2x scopes at?
>>573129151They probably unironically don't know how to code this.
>>573131132what's really funny is the toggle to disable IR laser visibility only triggers after the NVG animation finishes, so for a few frames you can see it as a regular red laser without NV until it remembers to toggle itbravo nikita
Only the finest slavjank code for the particular connoisseurs
IT'S OOOOVVEERRRRR
>>573139645Wait until you get to the one where you need 5 grenade kills and 5 flashbang kills.
I wonder if the new actual scav character/mode will be substantial.
>>573141396of course they will make it p2w somehow.
nice
6 days into the month where is the blackout event
It's so fucking depressing to play TF and BG. In CPT and LH I'm normally at like 1.5 to 2.0 kdr, but in TF and BG I'm always at 0.5 - 1.0 kdr. Right now I'm at fucking 4 kills and 10 deaths. How do I git gud?
>longest BG game ever>overtime, still tied>disconnect>try to reconnect>game crashes>try to reboot>reconnect>game crashes againLmao LOL
>>573063161I was like level 43 or something, since I needed to complete Tour. Kinda just rushed the points you need to scout and went underground to hide, lmao.I'll never ever learn to play Labs. Every other map and hotspot on said maps? No problem. Labs? Never.
>>573150452Rightfully so, labs is a map for deranged faggots. Not touching that shit unless a quest forces me to.

He was obviously tryharding hard as fuck, since almost all his deaths were to me. I still don't know whether it was funny or sad to hear him get so tilted over a couple of deaths, lol.
>>573150938I guess it could be fun, if I could git gud at it. Been playing since 2018, but never quite grasped that map. Feels like I'm always up against people who play the map like it was their job, and I'm a wagie, so I have absolutely no chance of ever catching up to them either.
>>573152083>Feels like I'm always up against people who play the map like it was their joLabs is a good map itself, but this is the problem.
>have a task that requires x something (e.g. kills, captures etc.)>ALWAYS end up in a situation where I have x-1 of the requirements at the end of the match>have to suffer through another round of ArenaJust last match thought to myself at 5 seconds left "I wonder how far away I am from completing this task" and took a look at the operational tasks only to see that I'm missing one point capture.

I think every map should have a level queue split like GZ does with 1-20 then 21+ lobbies.
Why the fuck are there so many locked safes with no keys? Better yet, why the fuck are there so many locked safes behind LOCKED DOORS with no keys?

Never going near Big Red again once I'm done with this stupid fucking folder quest. What a cursed location.
>>573172686Oh I know, and ironically enough there's a safe key that "opens" a safe that's always unlocked anyway. >>573172737I like hitting big red. There's almost never anyone there so you get to hit tarcone's for free 99% of the time. Not that I ever find much good in there, but still. PCs, duffles, jackets, and a safe in there.
>>573172853Literally every time I've tried big red I get fucking smoked by some dude who is already in there hiding in the darkness. The one time I got in there unmolested I got head, eyes'd by someone 40 seconds into Factory. I even had the Gate 3 spawn too. I guess I should have just camped the exfil for 15m but I thought I was close enough to at least plant it, even if I died afterwards.
>>573173083Oh, for delivery from the past? Yea factory fucking sucks sometimes. Getting the gate 3 spawn and running directly up there and planting the thing is usually the best way to do it, but it's easy to get unlucky and have someone spot you and shoot you mid plant. I can help you if you're on NA if you want, though it'd be later in the day.
>>573173083if you spawned gate 3 you could have planted it in like 10 seconds. literal god spawn.
>>573173864No fucking joke I walked out of Gate 3, and was already on the stairs to the shack when I saw the guy on that walkway going towards the office/locker room stairs>>573173840I've got a buddy who will help me out later but I appreciate it.

>>573234145I hope Nikita is grateful every night before bed for having such a retarded whale playerbase.
>>573244513Retard. If there's one thing BSG wants to make 200% sure is working it's their in fucking game store. As much shit BSG deserves, they can truly do nothing right in the eyes of you fuckwits. Can you imagine what retarded shit you would say if they pushed the store update and it didn't work, the backlash they would receive, and the shit they'd need customer support to fix with a problematic store? Use your fucking brain for once you dumbass.
>>573244973Maybe take your own advice, nigger. I was talking about the retarded whale "boycotting" BSG because he can't spend his money on hecking skins.
>niggerkita has once again turned up fog to ridiculous levels
>>573245635we silent hill nao
I got through 10 or so before my first cheater. Looks like they actually ban them now, I guess.
>>573245308name 50 'whales' that would be upset over the tarcoin store not working
>pest control done in one raidGod is good, God IS good... two of them were even pscavs with sub 5 minutes left in the raid.
>scored 3 trophy dogtags todayI guess Reserve is the map.
>>573245308>whaleuhh dude I've been running streets and fighting at tarbank the past 2 weeks. You do realize spending real money on tarcoin just means you're too shit to fight for it right?
it's kinda fucked up how arena has a handful of guns that are blatantly on million times better and even MY dogshit mentally disabled ass can top the scoreboard with them, AND YETnikita manages to keep me using the piss slop guns and staying in 6th place because the piss slop guns have 20+ levels of retarded useless unlocks while all the good guns only have like 3-4 weapon levels or no advancement at all and because I am CATTLE I cannot bear the thought of spending time playing a videogame without it counting towards a progress barit's a very fucked up situation!
>>573154416trust the plan sir
>hmm, yes, today I will sit still in the open and look through my inventory right outside of a building
going to have a couple drinks and a couple bongs and we're going to take another crack and faggot ass psycho snajper
>>573271136Best of luck.
>>573271272This can be my only attempt before I have to make money again,,, pre-emptively any map or areas that are acurrently loaded? I used to do lighthouse runs then over to streets lately kinda doing those cardinal buildings and some ohter locker rooms.
>>573265280Genuinely glad I had so many parts unlocked before they reworked the unlock process. I would very likely not play arena at all if I didn't have so much unlocked from when they stopped wiping arena armory progress.
2/5 down, this bozo and his boyfriend were trying to loot that camp thing, didnt see where his gay friend went though mustve ran off
>>5732792484/5 DOWN, one guy was incredibly embarassinmg he was just running through a field and it took me like 5 shots to take him down and I switched weapons by accident mid way oh god. anyway I think he was just like a lvl 15 maybe because he was wearing drd and white ratnik. second guy was sniping some other people or something and just happend to run into my sight. was a close one though lots of people running by that usec camp. someone flare extracted right behind me while i was going to outskirts so they were right on my assJust one more kill how hard could that beee
>>573284910>Just one more kill how hard could that beeeDon't forget surviving.
>>573284983I havn't actually been killed (yet) on the way to extract i was thinking about grabbing that key for one of the bunkers?
>>573285098actually i die all the time to extract scratch that.
>get delayed going into a scav match>load in with 5 minutes leftZamn, what is the freaking point?
>>573286787Player scavs shouldn't even be spawning in until like 10 minutes left in a raid in the first place.
Got in a little close range bolty v bolty battle after the guy walked up on me and i was laying down so i had to make noise because i didnt want him to ice me in the back. we took some noscopes at each other then he threw a nade at me and i ran away neither of us did any damage
>>573289386Do you not bring in a pistole or nuthin for these kinds of scenarios?
>>573290054I had an mp7 i think i just greedy to get the last bolty kill, another raid, waited for some guy in med camp tried 1 shot as he was running off but somehow people manage to perfectly stay behind cover, heard some shots at the village and run up to flank the guy and just as i come around the corner he gets killed by scavs
Does it count as exfil camping if I was looting Emercom and heard someone running up?
They really need to lower at least half of the items that are locked until level 20 for flea and lower that shit right to 15 when you unlock it.
RPK-16 is the ugliest fucking bullshit I have ever seen in my life holy shit
>>573301214He's doing his best okay?
>shoot a scav from a window>2nd AI scav insta snaps to me and blows my head off with buckshot through my level 4 helmetFucking excuse me? This wasn't even a head, eyes thing, it specifically said top of head.
Why are loose loot so fucking pathetic? I went into interchange, looked up shelves and broken boxes, cant find anything remotely valuable.Looted every pc in Ikea. No GPU. Just fucking cpus, cpu fans, damaged hdd and shit.Can't even build library because I cant find the cookbook for months.Am I supposed to just buy keys from flea and loot safes in these rooms ?
>>573305991And my fucking gas analyzer I needed for this task lost its FIR status too well fuck me I guess.
What the fuck is up with the AUG recoil this thing jumps around like fucking crazy, I actually lost a firefight picking this fucking thing up off a dead PMC.
>>573310393Skill issue
>>573310671Every other gun I have access too atm doesn't kick like it does so it really threw me off.
Anything is possible

what did jeager mean by this...?

Pretty proud of that.
>>573311787YEAAAA!!! YOU DID IT! That quest is a fucking beast! >Look at what you can do! >nothing is beyond your will.
*legs u*
>>573311787Zased, so fucking zased
This was actually not bad at all. I completed it on my first sincere "try". Labs of course feels a little hairy but everything else is honestly fine when you're just focused on living.
Man this guy, SUCKS.
>>573333518>poorfag drip using a ritzy 5-7cringe, he NEEDS an apb to complete the look
>can't even equip the new paid clothing in ArenaIt amazes me how they can push a patch with like 2 things changed and they STILL manage to launch it broken. Genuinely what the fuck is that team doing. It must be like half a dozen people tops, the way the game feels at the moment. Just let it die.
>>573334480Just buy them again, comrade. Is of easy fixings this way)))Bestest wishes,Nikita Buyanov
So can anyone tell me why shmidt and bender is so much cheaper than the alternatives? it goes to 8x? is the picture not as clean or something ?
also sometimes when im in woods i hear shturman going off like shooting hundreds of rounds whats going on? someone glitch into a spot to kill him and he cant hit them? happens like every raid
>>573335693I don't really know, but my hunch is that the people prefer the sight picture of the vudu/razor (I also agree they're better). Also the way scope zooming seems to work, the larger the zoom range the slower the smooth zoom seems to be. So 1-6x will feel snappier and more responsive when zooming in compared to 1-8x. The tac30 at 1-4x is even faster but that reticle is dogshit.The zooming thing is just based on how I seem to feel about it, I haven't actually tested that out or anything.
>>573335963He's got beef with the BTR driver and magdumps his ride to piss him off.

Doo doo doo
As a total noob trying to learn the maps one at a time, what's the best course of action from this spawn? I understand most of the other ones on GZ.>Emercom/Terra buildingImmediate garage fight or run down parking ramp/upstairs in terra>UndergroundEither immediate fight with other spawn or sprint away in the opposite direction>Near minefield/green flare extractCreep around the back or rush underground spawns>TarbankGo upstairs if quest otherwise run underground>Green sign building across from tarbank They all feel like they have multiple options, but the capital building spawn is just>Run out into the street and pray
>>573351285Your fuck up is thinking that you need to immediately move off of spawn. Insight has like 20 pcs and cabinets to loot.
YOOOOOOOOOO
>>573368103>we get mtxslop shop for skincels to buy cosmetics before a massive seasonal content updateGaming is dead.
>>573361697>hanging around spawn to get killed by a moving chad 10 minutes later, instead of walking outside and getting sniped by another spawn instantlyBAKA
>>573368103>nothing but a shopI thought they'd atleast ship it with the season thing. Lame.
>72mil roubles in gear>at least a hundred streets runs>6200 tarcoin>can only buy stash spaceI really thought they were going to release some new skins.... well guess I can just sit on my coins until they do

HERE'S YOUR MILSIM BROSQUEAL UP PAYPIGGIESNikita should kill himself on the next livestream
>>573368103jewkitaslop
>>573373354>tarkov>milsim????
Steamchads and double buyers won...
Most tarkov players are unemployed so I guess that's why they let you find the coins in game.Thanks PvE dads for footing the bill, make sure to ask wifey for permission first!
>>572556160it was a low chance, but i was hoping cross faction clothing would be directly purchasable.
>>573381151I hope at some point they realize how retarded they are for keeping that shit exclusive to unheardniggers and make it purchasable for everyone.
>>573381314Should've never been a thing to begin with to be honest. Ruins the faction identities. Why even have you select BEAR or USEC in the beginning if none of it matters?
>>573381728You are entirely right, but that's a whole other can of worms.
Cloth should never be cross factionStore cloth should either be achievement exclusive or store exclusiveI hate the fact that I cant gauge a player by his clothes anymore, having a telnik or a tracksuit used to mean something
>>573382326I agree in the case of stuff like Telnik, but with the tracksuit you can still tell who's a poser and who's mentally ill.
>>573351285If I spawn in Capital and want to leave I usually just hug the wall into the little walkway next to the parking lot and go wide into Fusion from there. It's been okay so far but you should expect someone to be in those little side offices when approaching.
Oh I didn't know that if u spawn a partizan and run away he will chase you across the entire map
Maybe it's because I'm still in the "baby lobby" for GZ but I never see anyone moving through the underground between buildings, 90% of fights seem to be in and around Terragroup and maybe Empire and 90% of the lobby is dead in the first 5 minutes.
>>573386512I don't even remember the last time I've seen that fucker.
I'd really like a 10F Skyscraper map full of office spaces, server farms and maybe even a communal/food court area.
>>573389580Imagine the framerate...
So, is it possible to buy gamma case with tarcoin? that's more critical than the extra stash lines.
>>573389989You can get it for free.
>>573389792Fuck it, we ball
Is it worth doing scav runs just to raise up skills like endurance/covert movement/etc?
>>573390498Your scav skill are completely separated from your pmc skill, so not really
>hmm, today I will visit Lightkeeper>spawn northern checkpoint 5 raids in a row
>>573390601Wait really? I had no idea they had their own skill tracks.
>>573390107there is no quest that gives gamma case. There is theta case, but I heard from some anon here that theta quest chain won't be available in seasonal character.
>>573387545I just saw him again and I was pretty much booking it across the map? Must've spawned on someone else. This is a testwebm for 15sec

>>573391165>Prestige 6lol okay
>>573391165not sure if it will carry to seasonal characters. But thanks anon. Good to know.
Getting on a bad streak of runs makes me want to kill myself desu.
>>573397413It's a videogame, anon.
found this picture on a local forum
Something weird is going on... I've been killing a lot of kinda lower level players and I have only really have maybe 1 super sus obvious death.
Woah also why are items selling for s mcuh on the flear maakret?
>>573398150yeah that's standard esp
>>573391417what do u mean? i just got killed by a 6th prestiger
>>573402021this poor son of a bitch probably memorizes the game to the smallest details and spent most days since 1.0 grinding prestige. Truly the unheard!
I DIDN'T HAVE AFUCKING MAG IN
AI Scavs can't close doors right? I'm pretty sure I smoked a pscav and his bf in the underground entrance to Skyside.

some days you just can't get rid of a pipe

where's my fucking raytracing niggita
>>573433395best we can do is glowing annoyance to bait you into spending money
>>573433395The game can barely run on a good day and you want them to drop a hot steaming RT solution on top of it?
>>573434323yeahthe piss performance is 100% cpuslop, even on max settings it barely utilizes gpu hardware at all unless you crank it up to 4x supersamplinghonestly would probably improve performance if anything since the current lighting system is the most CPU heavy part of all the graphical bullshit
>need to do a quest in dorm so I can unlock good ammo>can't go to dorm because everyone there is tier 6 armored codkids rushing marked room Well time to sleep in the bush for next 35 min and rush the rest
>>573435226To be fair that's pretty much every quest right now at this stage, probably won't be so bad once everyone jumps to seasonal.
>>573433571i have standard account but i would pay to hide it
>have barely played streets and know next to nothing about it>"hmm i will check the newfag guide">streets section is just a blurb that says "full text at a later time">guide last updated like 3 years ago

never touching this fucking dogshit again

>>573443594If you're not using stims you're doing it wrong.
>>573373354Tarkov isn't a milsim you stupid nigger.
>>573369240Retard. Not only have paid cosmetics existed for years, it took them until now to implement an in game store in the first place. Are you seriously complaining that we're getting a minor update introducing a shop so they can make sure it works before a major update? Are you genuinely fucking stupid? No fucking shit they're adding the store first before a major update brings in new and returning players. Wow, gaming is truly dead. Kill yourself
>>572624331What shirt is that?
>>573451614BEAR Biotic from the current battlepass in Arena, USEC gets a similar one but more grey.
tarkov has me looking forward to playing vidya when i wake up and get home from my errands like i'm a kid again and i don't know if the fun i'm having is coming from tarkov itself or from the friend i'm playing with
>>573455491just hold onto that feeling
Think I've finally found a reason to bother grinding Killa
>>573455491Wrong general, you're supposed to complain here.
nikita posted an image on twitter showing what all the positives and negatives do in the new season and almost all of them are kinda lame.
>>573467197This is the last time I'm doing your job for you, faggot.
>>573469625>Charisma skill cannot be increasedThis literally cucks you out of Kappa unless you take Average.
How do I grind for a hideout so that I have high passive income to finally lose my gear-fear?
So why did the Rotschilds nuke Tarkov in the end?
https://tarkov-seasonal.vercel.app/this been poasted yet?
>>573469625Yeah the positive perks aren't all that good it seems. Like maybe only half of them if that are any good. I think I will pick Bushborne, Street Tax, Diet, and probably Hercules or Average.
>keep spawning in the same place in streets where only squads spawn Its been 6 times in a row just let me fucking go
>Load into raid>Straight to death screenEpic coding as usual, good thing we all got the same loading screen if you let people in one minute earlier into the game anyway.Been playing this game on and off for 7 years, and it's still a fuck up in fundamental ways.
>>573490370>player model is physically loaded into the map before the actual loading screen finishesDidn't gaming collectively solve this issue like 12 years ago?
>>573491910Only Tarkov can fuck up fundamental shit like this; they've not even had a hurt box/hit box glued to the character or working audio for over 7 years now.
>>573490370Better luck next time :^)
>>572593726lovely secondary
>>573493009I needed something light to stay underweight.
>>572726864would be cool to see famas or vhs in the game
>>573492001Last night I had a huge hitbox/desync on streets, I know I hit the guy and I know I should have killed him because after I died I saw I had two fatal shot hits on my end of raid stats screen. This game is basically held together with duct tape.
>>573493280This has always been in the game, and why leaning is so good: your hitbox detaches from your hurtbox, so your upper body is technically not there while you get to lean and see.>>573492724Thanks for convincing me to move to another game again. This game truly was at its best before Streets in 2019 or so.
>>573494345You do you, man. I'm still enjoying it.
>>573492724>another anonymous videoyawn I remember when you all weren't giant pussies
>>573475136where the one for ban cheaters and also release game in bulk at a discount to the chinese specifically and then not updating cheat detection for 3 months?
>>573499594>not being an attention-seeking namefag is bad, actually
>>573475136I wonder how many people are gonna take No Flea and do SSF basically.
>>573500134ive never seen a cheater in this game
>>573500864I've cheated and been banned twice kek
I just got killed in a long distance sniper vs sniper battle....https://youtu.be/Rxbcp2AK-2Y
>>573500864You're either super new, don't understand the fundamentals of the game, or horribly naive.
>have to take a shit>lay down in a bush >take a 3 minute shit at the most!>stand up>Partizan domes me
did they implement the quest kill sharing thingy for squads already?thinking of coming back after like two month break
>eating cherries and extract camping
so how's arena progression supposed to work with seasonal characters? or are they just going to disable ref as a trader?
finding someone standing around in the middle of no where digging through their inventory is such a treat
>>573500864https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/escape-tarkov-trading/
>see someone in the woods>try to track them>they go over a hill>disappear into the void
anyone else feel the consequences of no wipes? i dont think the game was ever designed for no wipes, everything feels way too plentiful now. people know wipes arent happening now and the flea market is showing that.we just need to stop listening to streamers, remove all streamer items, remove all the bullshit monetization and rework the tedious quest system.ratting is still too rewarding, maps are still shit, cheaters are still rampart. this game is fucked
>>573492724i'd be less butthurt about shit like this if it didnt take 5-10 fucking minutes to find a match
I've been using bolt actions for 3 months straight
>>573525465Soon you will be free brother...it ends eventually...>t. finished his bolty quests last week
>>573522930Buddy it's always been like this, within the first 2 weeks of wipe everything becomes meaningless. The solution isn't to just wipe the game, it's to essentially remove all gear/ammo from the flea market. Then totally rebalance trader availability by putting more things back onto low level traders (7.62/5.45 ps). THEN INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF GOOD EQUIPMENT, MODS, AND AMMO IN ALL CONTAINERS/LOCATIONS WITHIN RAIDS.I know it's "realistic" or w/e but basically half the ammo in this game can be removed. Even on day 1 of wipe fucking no one is picking up ANY 12/70 or 9x18mm ammo. I shouldn't even exist. Then there's tons of ammos in other calibers that people don't bother with either. The loot tables on weapon/ammo crates are so fucking polluted by now that it's meaningless to actually loot things for the purpose of using it anymore. People just ascribe a ruble value to everything.Basically gear should be found in raid and extracted with, not just bought on the flea market. You make stockpiles of the weapons/ammo you like by doing raids (you have to chose your favorites because you can't take everything). Or you can kill other people for it.
>>573533628Low tier ammo is only bad because people immediately skip to t4 armor as the baseline, might as well delete everything under that tier as well and make it the new floor. Gear curve will always take the path of least resistance.
>>573532909I'm on my last one, it's just frustrating because for 75% of the game you don't even get to use the weapons you want you're always just juggling some shotgun or sniper or mp5 or some ol bullshit im never fucking prestiging or if i am it'll just be once and never touching that bolt action shit again
>>573469625+6 for no flea market doesn't sound too bad as long as flea restrictions don't change, not like you're missing much. i'd like to take the speed and stamina buffs for more W key action but i know all the shitter fags are probably salivating over bushborne and gonna spend the whole wipe sitting still, so maybe not.
